While the tight three-person race for governor is likely to get the most attention this fall, the contest for Maine's open 2nd Congressional District seat and local races that will determine which party controls the state House and Senate are also sure to be highly competitive. Martin, who served 46 years in the Legislature before being defeated in 2012, said one of his first actions would be to introduce a bill to end term limits, arguing that they've put too much power in the hands of lobbyists and state officials. Of Maine's congressional races, the 2nd District looks to be most competitive, pitting a traditional conservative, Bruce Poliquin, against a liberal Democrat, Emily Cain. Animal activists succeeded in placing on the ballot a proposal to end the hunting of bears with bait, traps and dogs. Critics of those techniques say those hunting practices are cruel, while supporters say they're necessary to keep the state's bear population in check.
